TEAM

Our employees play an important role regarding the preparation and supervision of operations. They are specially educated and well trained professionals
within their respective scope of activity with long-term experience. Each operation is dealt carefully by a certain employee under the surveillance and guidance of the Civil Law Notaries. This employee is also able to provide information on the current state of affairs.

LEGAL SECTORS

As Civil Law Notaries we are competent for providing legal advice,
notarizations of any kind as well as for the certification of signatures and transcripts.
For a larger number of legal matters statutory law even requires notarization.
This will then be the case when the legislator deems the involvement of a Civil Law Notary
necessary due to the significant personal and economic impact the matter has for the involved parties.

By profession, we are renowned specialists in the legal sectors listed below. Civil Law Notaries are - unlike lawyers - obliged to maintain a neutral position and therefore must not assume any one-sided representation of interests. Our duty is to give fair and balanced advice and a careful contractual design for all parties.

Our responsibilities as Civil Law Notaries based in Nuremberg are not limited to matters concerning real estate, companies and inheritance, solely in Nuremberg and its surroundings. You do not need to reside in Nuremberg or even have an existing notarial deed from us or one of our predecessors, in order to take advantage of our services. As German Civil Law Notaries, we have a rather extensive consulting, notarization and authentication jurisdiction. You are free to personally choose your civil law notary. We would be delighted if you chose us.

SERVICE

CHECKLISTS

We provide you with checklists in order to support personal advice and discussions in your legal affairs.
However, they do not replace an individual consultation. Even if you can not fill in a checklist completely,
it helps conceptualizing your individual drafts. Please reach out to us any time if you have questions or concerns.
We look forward to working with you.

LEAFLETS

NOTARY JARGON – MADE UNDERSTANDABLE

Frequently, our texts contain a lot of ‘notary jargon’ which is not always easy to understand for a non-professional.
Thus, the following explanations attempt to describe typical civil law terminology in simple terms.

Fees

It is a matter of common knowledge that Civil Law Notaries charge fees for their services.

BUT HOW ARE THESE FEES DETERMINED? IS A CIVIL LAW NOTARY FREE TO SET HIS CHARGES?

The amount of notary fees is dependent on the significance and value of the affair. For all notarial services, charges are determined by the Court and Notary Fees Law. The most important guideline within this law is: fees do not conform to the effort of a notary but rather to the value of the affair which is based on the notarized declaration’s economic value. This economic value is often expressed in the deeds as a certain amount of money. A construction site is sold for 40,000 Euros, thus, this amount of money (40,000 EUR) is the applicable economic value. In other cases, such as commissioning public access rights, the economic value can often only be determined upon estimation. Consequently, higher fees can be charged for simple affairs, while more complicated and labor-intensive affairs can be charged a minimum fee.

Based on the fee rate the actual fee is calculated by the scale of fees which is dependent on the economic value of the named affair. The notarization fee includes comprehensive consultation by a Civil Law Notary, drafting deedsas well as the notarization in the prober sense and the closing of the deed.

In affairs where fee rates are rigid and can lead to inadequate results, in particular concerning fees for notarial drafting and consultation, sliding-scale fees can ensure necessary flexibility.

PRECICELY, WHAT ARE THE FEES FOR NOTARIAL SERVICES?

The website of the Federal Chambers of Civil Law Notaries
(http://www.bnotk.de) lists specific examples to calculate notary fees. These examples are, however, only based on typical affairs. For further information the Federal Chambers of Civil Law Notaries has created a fee calculator which is based on the principles of Microsoft Excel. The fee calculator can be downloaded here:

Please note that in certain affairs discrepancies are possible.

TO LOOK BEYOND – NOTARIZED DEEDS CAN SAVE MONEY

Often, it is hardly known that notarial deeds can provide tangible cost benefits. For example,notarial wills normally replace the necessary certificate of inheritance. The certificate of inheritance, however, will alltogether cost almost double of what the Civil Law Notary charges for consultation, drafting of the deed and notarization of the will.

LECTURES

We, Dr. Axel Adrian and Florian Kroier, are at your disposal for information events and presentations of all kinds.
Both have gained experience through numerous lectures for professionals and non-professionals.

This service is specifically available for local communities, associations/clubs, banks and other organizations.
This service will be provided free of charge, as long as the event does not conceal any commercial intent.

Are you planning an event relating to prevention, inheritance, marriage, real estate or commercial law?

If you are interested in lectureswhich are easy to understand and entertaining, feel free to contact us any time! In addition
Dr. Adrian offers holding lectures regarding philosophy, science theory, legal theories and demography.

HISTORY

With pride we look back at a long tradition of Civil Law Notaries.
Dr. Axel Adrian’s notary office dates back to the old Notary VI office of Nuremberg. The gapless line of predecessors can easily be tracked back to precursors such as the Civil Law Notaries Dr. Grimm, Prof. Dr. Knoechlein and Mr Wacker. Florian Kroier is the successor of the old Nuremberg Notary V office. This lineage goes back to predecessors such as Mr Hofmann, Mr Huebner and Dr. Wahl et al.

Thus, both offices are among Nuremberg’s traditional notaries, which date back to the 19th century. We maintain our predecessor’s deeds and will continue this long tradition.

For more than a century our notary office has been located in the heart of Nuremberg, directly next to St. Lorenz Church.

JOB OFFERS

We often have job offers available at our office. Therefore, we would also appreciate and are welcoming unsolicited job applications and requests from qualified candidates. We make every effort to assess whether there is a specific position available at the moment or if a new job can even be created.
